SteamFirst: As an ambitious project, Ascendant strives to stand on top of all other PC smash ‘em up games. Does it succeed? Developed by Hapa Games; the game is set in an almost fairy tale like cel-shaded environment. Don’t let that fool you; there are plenty of foes to bring the familiar “Game Over” lettering before your eyes.

Ascendant is a new squad based shooter from PlayFusion, featuring ever-changing maps and the need to adapt tactics on the fly.

The Outerhaven goes hands-on with PlayFusion's Ascendant, the upcoming PVP First Person Shooter that requires players to adapt to survive. Taking inspiration from the 1980s as well as some other games and adding some ideas of their own, PlayFusion has crafted a fun-to-play competitive title that has a lot of potential.
